Questions Regarding the Paddle Shifters

Planning to pick up a 320d Sedan (known as 328d in the US) with 8 speed AT gearbox. We dont have the option of paddle shifters in India on the diesel 320d however the 328i that we get here has paddle shifters.

my questions is;

Since the steering is same in both the cars, will swapping the stock steering of the 328i with the stock 320d steering make the paddle shifters work properly?

The 328i supposedly has sports automatic transmission mentioned in the catalogue whereas the 320d has just automatic transmission mentioned. Is this a cause of concern if I want to add paddle shifters ?

There was another thread about retrofitting the F30 with paddle shifters to their car.. maybe it will provide some insight to you! =)
